THE SHINS TO RELEASE THE WORM’S HEART ON JANUARY 19, AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER FRIDAY, 12/15 EXTENSIVE WORLD TOUR CONCLUDED THIS WEEK IN HONOLULU

The Shins will release The Worm’s Heart, a complete rework of their 2017 acclaimed album Heartworms, on Friday, January 19. The announcement was made today by James Mercer via Facebook Live, check it out here. The Worm’s Heart will be available for pre-order Friday, 12/15 and includes immediate downloads of "Name For You (Flipped)" and "Cherry Hearts (Flipped)" which were released earlier this year. See full tracklisting below. When James Mercer wrote, produced, and recorded Heartworms, he had this desire for an alternate version, an opposite version. The album’s slow songs would be flipped and re-recorded as fast songs, and vice versa. The reasoning was to showcase the versatility and strength of his songwriting, the result is The Worm’s Heart. The Shins concluded their extensive world tour Tuesday night in Honolulu, HI. Since March, the band has played over 100 shows. For more information on The Shins, visithttps://theshins.com/.
